REI

Asphalt or dirt, commuting or touring, the updated Stella 200L from Light & Motion packs a long list of features into a very small package.

  • Super-compact, high-output LED bike light is rechargeable and weighs in at only 250g
  • Proprietary reflector gives you a clean swath of light that not only focuses in the center but also provides plenty of broad fill light to ride behind
  • Features multiple power settings, providing 5 - 20 hrs. of usable light
  • Batteries don't like to be fully drained, so Stella will alert you when there is roughly 15 min. of run time left
  • If the light isn't shut off before the battery dies, Stella shuts the light down automatically
  • Comes with a simple mount that adjusts to fit standard and oversize (25.8 - 31.8mm) handlebars
  • Can also be mounted on your helmet (mount included) or on the Light & Motion Multi Sport head strap, sold separately
  • Smart Charger charges the light to full power in under 4 hrs. and then monitors the battery voltage and shuts off to protect from overcharging
  • Low-battery warning light
  • Charger accepts wall voltage from 90 - 260 volts so you can charge it in many other countries
  • Lithium ion Cub battery pack is barely larger than a deck of cards, weighing just over 180g; that's less than 7 oz.!

Outstanding Light

Rating:*****
I've been trail riding with this light mounted on my helmet the past two months and it has exceeded my expectations. I've had two niterider minewts and I find this light to be superior in every way. First, it still works, unlike both of my minewts which had to be sent in to niterider for warranty repairs (one battery failed, one light failed). Second, its brighter and the beam is more focused which I prefer in a helmet mounted light. Third, the battery life is longer and holds a charge consistently even in 20 degree weather. Fourth, it comes with a helmet mount and the light mounting system itself is so much easier to use than the minewt o-ring setup. Very easy to switch from helmet to bars. Fifth, it comes with a long enough cable that you can mount it on your helmet and put the battery in your jersey pocket or camelbak without having to buy an extension. I have no axe to grind with niterider, just haven't had much luck with the minewt. In all fairness, several of my riding partners have them and like them. For me there is no comparison. I love the Stella! Planning on a second one to mount on my bars as soon as my last minewt dies... which shouldn't be long.

Excellent Deal

It would not be an understatement to say that I love this light! I ride a daily commute that always brings me home in the dark. The illuminated path is clear, easily aimed, and BRIGHT. This is handle bar mounted, and therefore my only suggestion would be a disconnect for the lamp as well. I fear leaving this on the bike unattended, and figure I can wire it myself if need be. This has been a very reliable buddy.
